Maybe.  The area they are traveling by foot now has had areas cleared for the wood.  A path can generally be followed but is not clear.  Kar-Draith and Charger spot something in the sun.  Something is flying over-head that is using the sun to blind other’s of it’s arrival. As it shifts in the air the others can now see it.   “Looks like a horned eagle” grumbles Taylor with a mix of fear, respect and uncertainty.“Nothing I know of….. unless it is a dragon or drake.” Adds Diana shielding her eyes and trying to see it better.   “Ulp!” she blurts out as suddenly the creature arcs and swoops at her.  It strikes her in the chest ripping at her furs and gouging her chest.  It’s talons become caught up in her furs and it it forced to land next to her.  It looks like a big eagle with a deer’s head and demon’s eyes.  Taking no chances with it- Charger and Kar-Draith put a quick end to it.“If I didn’t know better, I would think that creature was purposely going for my heart!” the artificer says as she gets out a wand to quickly heal herself.  The sharp talons went through her hides and robes and dug deep over her heart.  It is a scary thought- a heart seeking mix of eagle and deer.ZARANTYR 3, 1001  ELDEEN REACHESIt was not long after killing the swooping monster [Peryton] that the weather began to change.  The sky became clody and the wind began to move the snow around creating snow drifts to travel through.  Everyone except for Charger was cursing this change in weather.  “It’s not like a blizzard is coming in.” says the warforged warrior.It is difficult creating and keeping a fire that night.  The food rations of dried berries and fruit with jerky is less than enjoyable when half-frozen.  The Ferret, Romeo, rarely makes an appearance as it prefers to stay deep within Taylor’s furs and robes.As the sun rises, the temperature barely rises.  The sky is dark and the wind is either strong or gusty.  It is always blowing snow around.  It is hard to say if it is snowing or if it is merely being blown about.  Near what they guess is noon, Diana spots a swirling motion that seems odd.  It is swirling  separately from the winds of the oncoming blizzard.“What is that?” she yells out.Barely able to hear her, the others stare ahead and some see the swirling mass- some still dion’t.  After Diana gets off of him, Gears moves forward.  Charger spaces himself to rush into it.  Taylor has the wand ready and the archer readies his bow.   The swirling snow and ice takes on a serpentine form and attacks Gears.Charger rams it as it solidifies and the others launch attacks from the safety of range.  Some attacks work better than others.  It is still easily defeated by the team.</blockquote>
